After winning the jump ball, Liu Mang immediately ran behind Ratliff who received the ball, fearing that Francis, a rough man, would get angry and beat him.

Fighting is not the problem, the key is that the competition is broadcast live all over the world. Liu Mang is worried that it will be bad if his handsome face is disfigured.

Carter, Tracy McGrady and Stockton were also afraid that Francis would go berserk and did not run forward immediately. They formed a circle around Francis. As soon as Francis really went berserk, they would immediately stop him and Ratliff would also hold on to him with one hand.

The ball, protecting Liu Mang with one hand..

However, everyone has underestimated the strength of Francis's heart. He has been teased by Liu Mang not once or twice. What else can he do? Be careful next time and you will be targeted by this bastard again...

In the West, the unity is far worse than that in the East. Even teammates Kobe and O'Neal on the bench are not united, let alone others. Although Yao Ming is Francis's teammate, Liu on the other side is not united.

Mang is from the same country and a future teammate of the national team, so he can only pretend that he didn't hear anything.

Similarly, an important reason why Francis held back his shame and anger was because of Yao Ming.

And... Mainly because he is used to it. Liu Mang is famous among the players for his bad mouth. As one of Liu Mang's rivals, over time, he has really gotten used to it. He believes that one day, this bastard will definitely be

Beaten to death...Francis could only glare at Liu Mang and turn around to defend himself.

Liu Mang was very moved when he saw his four teammates protecting him. Ratliff and Stockton were teammates on the team. I won’t talk about these two people. He didn’t expect Carter and Tracy McGrady to be so loyal. Liu Mang

I applaud them from my heart!

Liu Mang made an important decision. Since these two were so loyal today, for the rest of the regular season games against them this year... he would not abuse them, but let them loose and let them win on purpose!

Liu Mang patted his chest and silently made this promise: If you treat me like a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman!

However, it seems that the next time the Hawks, Magic and Nets play in the regular season, they will have to wait until next season...

The referee, who had been waiting carefully, saw that there was no conflict between the two teams. Even Francis, who was teased, was not really angry. He breathed a sigh of relief. If the All-Stars were fighting... the referee quickly signaled the Eastern team to attack quickly.

Stockton was fine, but the cousins ​​felt most helpless. Having such a friend was enough, and the three of them ran forward.

The fans and the players on the field all thought that Liu Mang would catch the ball and advance. However, the Eastern team players who had just arrived in the frontcourt and the Western team players who had just returned to the three-point line in the backcourt saw Ratliff pointing towards Liu Mang.

After checking the frontcourt, I dribbled the ball forward!

The key is that Liu Mang actually ran over and stretched to the 45-degree angle of the three-point line!

To be honest, NBA players, even if they are centers, can dribble well without interference. Perkins can control the ball and advance like a small guard on the street court, and Ratliff can advance to the frontcourt.

Yao Ming didn't expect Ratliff to actually implement the unreliable gameplay Liu Mang mentioned just now!

Yao Ming is a very traditional person, both in life and in basketball. In his perception, a center plays like a traditional center because he plays in the low post, stretches the mid-range shot, grabs rebounds and blocks, even during the All-Star Weekend.

, he is very traditional, so during the All-Star Weekend last season, he only scored one goal and got three rebounds, and then the Western Conference All-Star head coach thought he was too boring and replaced him.

The fans at the scene were all excited!

Or the Eagles players can play!

Seeing Ratliff advance, not only the fans at the scene, but even O'Neal, who is the best at showing off, cheered and cheered loudly for Ratliff on the sidelines!

Just as Yao Ming was about to go out to guard Ratliff, he saw Francis let go of Liu Mang and rushed toward Ratliff, trying to steal it!

revenge!

It's definitely an idea of ​​revenge. Ratliff is Liu Mang's teammate, so revenge on Ratliff is the same as revenge on Liu Mang!

However, the reason why Francis has been criticized for his poor defense is because his defensive prediction is so bad, and his pressing is also straightforward. Ratliff advanced amidst the cheers of the fans and players on the sidelines, and was quite excited to see it.

Francis rushed over, not afraid at all. It was the All-Star game anyway. He used an action that he had never used in official games before, changing direction!

When Francis rushed in front of him, Ratliff pulled the ball sharply to the left, jumped to the left, and avoided Francis' defense. Francis rushed over! Ratliff shook him away!

When the fans at the scene saw this scene, they all cheered "Oh oh oh...".

Ratliff shook Francis away, listened to the cheers of the fans at the scene, stepped on the three-point line excitedly to stop the ball, and took the shot directly despite his 3721 long two-pointer!

Sometimes a blind cat can really encounter a dead mouse. Ratliff, who has only made one three-pointer in his career so far and has never hit a three-pointer, stepped on the three-point line and hit a long two-pointer on the backboard and into the basket!

When O'Neal saw this scene, he stood up and rushed to the sidelines. He patted his head with one hand and pointed at Ratliff with one hand while shouting Ratliff's name while laughing!

The scene was even more crazy. Although the two teams didn't seem to be confrontational today, it became more fun!

After scoring a goal, Ratliff imitated Liu Mang and blew non-existent gunpowder smoke at Yao Ming who was about to run out from the basket. It was quite arrogant!

Liu Mang and Stockton didn't expect that Ratliff actually made the shot! They came up and gave Ratliff a hard high-five.

Seeing this scene, the fans at the scene started to yell: "big-yao...big-yao..."

Yao Ming seemed to have enlightened himself and asked Kobe for the ball!

Kobe looked at Yao Ming and felt a kind of despair in the world. Such a decent man with thick eyebrows and a square face was led astray by that bastard!

But it's quite interesting. Today is probably the game where Kobe has laughed the most since the beginning of this season. Kobe was originally going to serve the ball to Yao Ming. After Yao Ming asked for the ball, Kobe ran out of the baseline and served the ball to Yao Ming.

The players from the Western Team also started to play!

Garnett helped Yao Ming block Liu Mang who was trying to steal. Duncan, a sullen man, also pushed McGrady and ran forward.

Liu Mang originally wanted to sneak attack Yao Ming, but he didn't expect that the Western Conference would also start to play. Yao Ming imitated Ratliff's gesture just now and pointed to the front court, like a point guard, sitting in the midfield and commanding the four sides!

Yao Ming cautiously advanced to the frontcourt, and his teammates all pulled away. The Eastern team was too embarrassed to press forward. Yao Ming came to the three-point line. The fans at the scene and the people on the sidelines shouted Yao Ming's nickname -

—Amid the shouts of big-yao, Yao Ming held the ball in singles against Ratliff from outside the three-point line!

Ratliff came forward with all his teeth and claws, seemingly extremely fierce, but in fact he was just waving his hand inside the three-point line, with no pressure at all or even preparation to jump.

Yao Ming felt a warmth in his heart. As expected, they had drank together. Ratliff was much friendlier than that compatriot. Yao Ming moved a few steps to the right, faced Ratliff's 'defense', and picked up the ball slowly.

Slowly adjust, and after finding the rhythm, take a three-point shot!

With the crisp sound of hitting the net, Yao Ming also hit the long shot!

Originally, Yao Ming's long-distance shooting was very good. If he had to shoot three-pointers, he would be able to score if he was given a chance to slowly adjust. However, his opponents would not give him such a chance in the regular season or even in the preseason, let alone the playoffs. However,

During the All-Star Weekend, Yao Ming's three-pointer was effective!

After Yao Ming scored a goal, he imitated the movements of a Western cowboy, danced a horse-riding dance, shook the non-existent whip in his right hand a few times, and ran back to the backcourt amid even louder cheers from the audience.

After Liu Mang's troubles, the originally non-confrontational game turned into a show! Both teams were having fun. Next, Carter held the ball and played Garnett in a post-up single. Garnett pretended to pounce in a very face-saving manner.

To prevent being "passed" by Carter, Yao Ming followed Ratliff out to "defend a three-pointer." Carter imitated O'Neal's movements, raised his hands on the spot and filled the frame, and then took a dominant step.

When the Western Conference team attacked, Garnett imitated Liu Mang's moves and singled out Carter. Carter reciprocated. When Garnett broke through, he took several steps back. Garnett took two long steps back and scored two points.

Everyone is having fun!

The two teams played for a few minutes and began to rotate. Liu Mang basically didn't play with the ball. He had enough roles in the past two years. He couldn't always dominate the ball during the Eastern Conference All-Star Weekend, otherwise he would be hated. This

He understands this very well, and everyone has to play with it, so he didn't ask for the ball very much. Stockton threw two three-pointers and scored one, while Liu Mang not only grabbed an offensive rebound and dunked one, but also jumped in the opening game.

Once I hit the ball, I didn't touch it much the rest of the time.

Liu Mang, Ratliff, Stockton and Tracy McGrady, who took the initiative to leave the game, were replaced. The Eastern team replaced two big insiders, O'Neal Jr. and Ben Wallace, as well as Artest, Kidd and Carter.

On the Western Team side, Coach Sanders unexpectedly replaced two centers, Yao Ming and O'Neal, to play in the Twin Towers!

O'Neal was actually reduced to playing power forward!

When he saw this scene, Liu Mang immediately understood Coach Sanders's little idea. If they consume Yao Ming and O'Neal, even if they lose one more game in the future, it will be a good thing for the Timberwolves to get first place in the Western Conference in the regular season.

According to the news, the Lakers are very tight in second place in the Western Conference, and the Rockets are about to surpass the Mavericks and become fifth in the Western Conference. The Timberwolves do not want to meet the Rockets in the second round. A big man like Yao Ming will be too troublesome in the playoffs.

Already.

Coach Kruger kept Carter and replaced him with the Pacers' two forwards, as well as the Pistons' Ben Wallace and the Nets' Kidd, all with the same idea.

In the next first and second quarters, Coach Kruger asked the All-Stars from the Pistons, Pacers, and Nets, the three strongest opponents, to play for a long time. In the Western Conference, O'Neal mainly played.

It was very long. After coming on in the first quarter, I almost didn’t rest and kept playing. Yao Ming also played for a long time. O’Neal scored 9 points and 4 rebounds in the first half, and Yao Ming scored 11 points and 9 rebounds in the first half. Two

The center forward has a lot of fun passing the ball inside.

In the East, Kidd is originally an offensive player who can make the team play well. He cooperates a lot with Ben Wallace, a physical man, and Carter is a teammate, so he can fly all over the place.

At the end of the first half, the Eastern team led the Western team by 10 points 79 to 69.

After the playful first half, the two teams began to play more seriously in the second half.

On the Eastern team's side, Stockton came on the scene again in the second half, leading Carter, Raheem, O'Neal Jr., and Ben Wallace to start playing well.

The Eastern team gave Stockton face, and in the second half they wanted to help Stockton win the All-Star MVP. The Western team also gave Face, and O'Neal gave Malone face, which also gave Stockton face.

O'Neal still has a high say in the Western Conference and even the entire league. After all, it has just been more than a year since he won the three consecutive championship MVPs. The Western Conference team gave O'Neal face and continued to play.

For a veteran like Stockton, this year's All-Stars are quite generous.

Mainly due to respect for veterans and considerations for one's own future.

Qualifications are actually not that important in the NBA. Once you get old, you won't be able to play. Unless you serve as a spiritual leader, most veterans are really useless. At this time, they rely on the younger generations to give them face.

Everyone ages, and the All-Stars also attach great importance to this. They want to maintain this tradition of young people respecting veterans, because one day they themselves will become veterans.

For example, Kidd, who was dissatisfied with Stockton's All-Star selection, only dared to complain in private. As for being exposed, he didn't expect that he would be a man with his tail between his legs now, and he would partner with Stockton in the backcourt.

He always took the initiative to pass the ball to Stockton to shoot. Not everyone was as determined as Isaiah Thomas to go further and further on the road of offending Jordan. Jordan also respected Isaiah Thomas, but they were all

I lost respect for Isaiah Thomas only after I offended him to death.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! On the Western Team side, because the opponent is not Jordan, the respect given does not need to be so strict, and the respect does not need to be all-out, in this kind of scene

respect is enough.
